If your HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx laptop is failing to load into the operating system, use this guide to replace the hard drive.
The hard drive is the component that stores all the programs and data on a computer. A failed hard drive will prevent the laptop from booting into the operating system.
Before using this guide, keep in mind that hard drive failure can be recognized by computers. A warning will pop up in the BIOS after the laptop fails to load the installed operating system.
If the hard drive fails while the laptop is used, the device will load into BIOS or blue screen.
Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect from any external power source.
